This photo may have been taken in the Dream Theatre or the Coeur d'Alene Auditorium, which burned down between 1904-1908. If it is the Dream, it may be the only known photo of Vera Huff, who may be sitting at the piano in front of the stage with her back to the audience. Anyone with photos of Huff is encouraged to share them with the Museum of North Idaho.
